Jason Nolf – Technical Takedown Finishes

Feel free to ask any questions!

@Jason What grip are using for the cradle finshes?

[Jason Nolf]

I like the S grip or the gable grip for my cradle locks. I typically start with S grip because it’s faster to get to but if I can adjust to the gable grip without losing my lock then I will do that to tighten the cradle up.

Could you still hit that cradle from the double leg if they start pulling your leg out to funk roll?

[Jason Nolf]

As you drive your double leg down to the ground, you need to protect your feet. To get a clean finish in almost any takedown, you need to make sure you hide your feet from your opponent. If they can’t get your feet then they can’t funk roll.

However, if they do start to funk roll and pass your leg, it is more important to float the position to the other side rather than focusing on the cradle.

And your hiding your feet by circling your feet towards the butt?

[Jason Nolf]

Yes toward my own butt. I always hide my feet under my butt. Think of it as windshield wiping your feet.
